Terrible!!! My hair is terrible!! Haircut does not include a wash?? Dry cutting is not for every hair texture or type. It's bullshit and then they want to charge you an arm and a leg!!! Beware!! My hair feels like a Brillo pad!! No styling products either or hairspray when I was done. read more

Does it get any better than Arous and Co.? No, no it does not. The facility is gorgeous. The staff amazing. And Arous always make sure that your hair looks like a work of art. She also cuts my hair so that it lasts, with the recommendation that I come back after six months. Who else can pull that off? I drive two hours to get here and guarantee myself a perfect curly hair cut, every time. read more

Had my hair done for the first time outside NYC. Arous has truly been inspired by our friend John Sahag. The Sahag Studio in NYC has become a petty hornets nest only interested in MONEY. Not the legacy and techniques of the great gentleman. Such a shame. Wonderful stroke of luck I found Arous or perhaps it was John looking after me. PS love the sister of Arous and her beautiful German Shepard. read more

You haven't been to a REAL hair stylist/color specialist until you've experienced AROUS. First of all the new studio on Main Street in East Greenwich is like a vacation in itself. Secondly, Arous is a professional who is so highly educated in her craft that you realize most others are NOT. She is pricey, honest, experimental, professional and a true artist. Make an appointment....there will be no disappointment!!!! :) read more

Tried to call here to make an appointment. The front desk staff assumed was I was young and could not afford their services. Very snobbish and off putting. read more

I scheduled an appointment for 9:00. Showed up for my appointment and was told I had the wrong time. They don't double book and where was my card. I told them we had booked over the phone. It was the tone and dismissive attitude I had a problem with. If I had heard there was a mistake. Have a coffee in us, or we are so sorry. I would have been fine. I did not like the argument and tone. I won't be back. read more

Found an eyelash lift Groupon for this place and made an appointment! The appointment was about an hour long for the entire process. It has been 6 weeks and my lashes are still lifted and curled! I am definitely going to come back to get my lashes lifted again. read more

I usually write long reviews but today it's not necessary. Arous is hands down THE BEST hair stylist in RI. I've been to a lot, and she's the first person who's cut my hair, EVER, who gets it. And the cut grows in gracefully. She takes into consideration everything (that sadly, most others don't). Between the shape of your face, your body and the texture of your hair, she nails it 100 percent. I should add that her specialty is cutting your hair while dry which makes so much sense, since it allows one to see how the cut turns out when it IS dry. Wet hair is not accurate. It gets shorter when it dries. She was trained by The Master, celebrity hair stylist, the late John Sahag, and now she teaches the Sahag method as well. It is such a relief to leave a salon happy. She also has fabulous taste and her salon is gorgeous, whimsical, tasteful and immaculate. I am VERY happy. No more tears! read more

I have been working with Shameem for over 20 years and have followed her to wherever she goes. I am so happy with my haircut and highlights, traveling two hours to see her. It is so worth it! I may not get my hair done as often but I find with her new technique of dry cutting, I can go longer between haircuts and it still looks great. I was skeptical at first with dry cutting but now I will never go back- my hair is now so healthy, full and manageable. She spends quality time with you and going there feels like a spa experience. The salon is beautiful, clean, bright and everyone is so friendly. I always look forward to the cappuccino Shameem makes me while my highlites are setting!! I highly recommend Arous Studio- you won't be disappointed. I now bring my mom to get her hair done and we make a day trip out of it! read more

Best salon experience!! I've been getting my hair colored for a long time and could not find the right stylist/salon since moving to RI until now. I came in for a lash lift and ended up getting seriously special hair treatment! During my lash lift, I asked if they could fix my orange hair that another salon in Providence had done. I needed it fixed fast because I was leaving for France in two days. Melissa and Arous evaluated my hair, understanding exactly what I wanted and my urgency. They fit me into their schedule the very next morning on a Saturday. Arous gave me the BEST blond highlights and low lights, and Melissa gave me a fabulous dry cut. Both made my hair look a million times better. I can't thank them enough for helping me in a bind and for making my trip (and photos) that much better!! Also, it's been two weeks since my visit and my lashes still look great! It's like lash extensions only they're my own and don't fall out. I will definitely be back! read more

I went here for the first time . My hair stylist named David'e was excellent. He listened to me and knew what I wanted. I got a great haircut. Very clean and very pleasant staff. I will definitely be back .Arous and her sister were very nice also read more

I was a long term client of Arous' (about 20 years), but in recent years the service started going downhill. On my last visit, person after person came in, got seated in Arous' chair and received their service immediately, as I sat & waited FOUR HOURS for my haircut, no exaggeration! Next, I called to say my brother had just died and asked if they could squeeze me in that WEEK, not even that day. Karin assured me they'd call me back in the morning with an appointment, but I never received a call. That's pretty low! It appears that if you are a wealthy client you receive superior service, which is disgusting! Never again darling! I found another dry cut artist who actually values ALL of their clients! read more

My hairstylist was high while doing my hair and reeked of marijuana. She went out back, smoked a joint and came back in to butcher my hair. HIGHLY unprofessional. read more

What are you waiting for?! Go here! Arous is amazing. Worth the 11 hours, yes 11 hour trip to visit the prestigious Arous Studio. She is a true artist. She is warm, friendly and processes that serious talent. I am a stylist as well, and can vouch she is viewed like the Bruce Lee of hair! Hi-ya! read more

The whole experience here was amazing! They have you change into a robe to save your clothes from getting hairs on your shirt. They offer you beverages with a full bar. My hair foil is the best color my hair has seen in years. Arous really knows what it is to be a true colorist. I've never had a dry cut before but the precision and perfection in the angles were beautiful. Davida was so gentle and a real artist at sculpting my hair to be just perfect. I couldn't look better. Thank you again Arous. read more

I loved my style. A friend recommend this studio. This is an experience. It is not unusual to be at the studio a couple of hours. So worth it! I had not been taking pride in my appearance in quite some time. Between losing thirty pounds and having a wonderful cut and style I actually take better care of my hair than I have in years. This has translated into taking better care of myself in so many aspects. I take care of a number of other people, I seldom begrudge it. But it is amazing that by taking better care of myself I have more energy to do what I need to do for my family. Thank you, Arous Studio for the awesome change in perspective. I can't wait to go back. read more

Awesome state-of-the-art salon with a professional staff whose singular goal is to make you look & feel beautiful! Arous herself is a talented artist who creates flattering, modern, easy-to-maintain styles. All clients benefit from the dry-cutting method. Once you've had your hair cut, colored & styled at Arous Studio, you won't go anywhere else! 14 years ago I relocated to Rhode Island from Manhattan & worried about finding a stylist here who could keep me happy. I asked for recommendations, visited several salons & knew immediately Arous Studio was the place for me. I'll never leave! read more

I started going to Arous Studio about 4 years ago. I met her in the parking lot and she invited me in spur of the moment to take care of the shape (or lack there of) of my hair. Since that day, my hair has never been more healthy, and to my liking. She takes the time to really see the true beauty of your hair, and she takes care of it for the long term, rather than trying to find an easy short term fix. Arous and the other wonderful women of the salon have become like family to me and I really enjoy each and every visit. I would whole heartedly recomend Arous Studio for the mastery of the dry cut, the knowledge of color application and the warm and welcoming environment. read more

Arous is a great stylist who listens to what you want. Went here for highlights and haircuts--she cuts hair dry. Came out looking great.

When I met Arous 9 years ago, I left the salon feeling like I had just gotten the best haircut of my life and I feel that way EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Arous is a true artist and master stylist. Everywhere I go, I get compliments on my hair even when it's been months since my last cut. This is THE place for hair styling in RI. read more

I have curly hair and this studio KNOWS what they're doing. Best haircut I've ever had. Excellent customer service. Request Davide! I'll never go to another salon again. read more

I was introduced to Arous when I was looking for someone to do my hair for my wedding. After consulting with a Arous, we both knew that all I needed was a good haircut and really awesome highlights ... She saw my vision and she knew it was best to let my hair do what it does because in a Arous words I have "beautiful, angelic hair "She ended up turning into not only my hair stylest but my business partner Julia and refer as many people as I can cause she does superb work! Not only is she amazing as a professional but she connects with her clients on so many levels. As both women and professional entrepreneurs we know what it takes to connect, listen and deliver first class costumer service. Arous has also become a good friend and I am grateful to have her in my life! read more

I came all the way from boston an amazing cut and a really beautiful studio I will come back nice atmosphere and really cordial people stacey read more

Ecstatic about the new "makeover" look I got at this salon. Overall experience was a wonderful one from start to finish! I will definitely be back again and again! Thank you thank you thank you! read more

I went here for a few years and it was just really unpleasant. Arous is talented with cutting hair but she can be a bit abusive to her clients but especially to her staff. I did not like the color here. Everyone comes out red. I used to dread coming here because of the bad energy. I am now happily at a lovely drama free salon. read more

Left my hairdresser of 15 years for Arous. She gave me an incredible dry cut and highlights and no one can believe that I have fine, straight hair. My hair falls perfectly, and grows out keeping the same line She listens, has great cutting skills which she hones by keeping up with the hippest techniques that Sahag has to offer. She is confident enough to not have a big ego. She wants you to be happy with yourself. Love the salon. read more

Have been searching for a stylist for years who will do what style I want, not what THEY want! Arous does exactly what style I ask for, and I finally love my hair again, thanks to her! (And that's no easy feat, because I have wimpy, baby fine hair, that most stylists can't do anything with.) In addition, she is a great person with a "good vibe." read more

Arous is a wonderful hair stylist and a wonderful person!! I have been to so many stylists since moving back from CA and have really struggled finding someone who understands wavy hair. Arous really understands hair. She listens to my concerns and gives an honest opinion. Her dry cutting technique scared me at first but she put me at ease. Dry cutting makes sense, especially for wavy hair. Before Arous, my hair was always being cut too short due to wet cutting. I was also afraid to spend so much on a hair cut because of my present financial situation but I don't need my hair cut as often. My hair grows out nicely and I receive compliments even when I feel I'm due for a cut. She also introduced me to DevaCare products which have really helped keep my hair soft and manageable. Oh, and she gives nice little pep talks when needed. :) read more

OK. I'm not sure what I'm happier about, my wife or her hair! She's always thrilled when she comes home from Arous, and so am I! A smokin' style every time. This has NEVER happened, EVER, Keep up the great work!!! read more

Got such an amazing haircut by Arous, she does such great work and known her for years. Definitely a returning customer was born today.

I come all the way from Florida to this salon because of the exceptional service. I heard about Arous from my friend and I was unhappy with my haircut In florida. I gave this place a shot and it was a great place for a great haircut and color. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants an amazing haircut and a unique experience. read more

Okay, I must say that I went to get my hair colored today. Getting over a cold and feeling a bit under the weather it was the last place I wanted to be. I know that that Arous is talented and gets her share of accolades. I get my wash, color, and keratin, from Sharon and with hair that some find difficult to handle, I am very careful about who I allow taking care of it. Today confirmed to me that Sharon is fantastic. She gave me the tender loving care that I needed. I walked away feeling better, cared for, and loved. My hair looks great, thank you, Sharon, for doing what you do. You are an unsung hero. I appreciate it. read more

AROUS has been my hairdresser form over ten years now. Before AROUS I was on a mission to find the perfect hairdresser, one that would do a meticulous job and meet my expectations. For years no one could meet those expectations until AROUS!! She is my savior when it comes to my hair! I have to be one of the most particular, compulsive, obsessive, most difficult clients AROUS has (to say the least)! She never disappoints! I have naturally dark brown hair and AROUS has been the only one able to take my dark hair to blonde without being orange or brassy! No matter where I go I get compliments! She is an Ace in my book! Before AROUS I only dreamed of having this kind of hair by going to New York which is out of the question! She brought New York to me! Her dry cutting technique is incredible! Love everything AROUS stands for! AROUS is one of the most pleasant woman I know along with her sister Corinne! They always make you feel welcomed and at home! The energy is great! Love them! read more
